New Car Problems

[97Gs-t]

Allright here we go.

First problem.

Car has no power at all.

I have the maft zeroed out completly and the safc is -14 for the high throttle and low throttle settings.

Third gear wot ill get up to 4k and the car Studders. Turbo builds no boost.

When i go half throttle/Quarter throttle everything is fine.


Second problem the car wont smoke at idle.
I drove it maybe half a mile and it will start to smoke. blueish/white smoke.

Last the plugs

Im running ngk br6es plugs
I pulled them out to check the compression and they where White.

Added fuel and they are still white.


Any solutions for my problems?

Does it give a cel? Is it missing? If its missing, I would suggest trying different plug wires..

[Dizmm]

this is that new engine right? is should smoke a little bit for a while.

[97Gs-t]

Correct it is a new motor.

Car is not missing at all purrs like a kitten at idle.

At idle my afr is around 15.8/16

Have a cel thought it was the fps due to i removed it but it wasnt. i hooked it back up and the cel was still on.

Was tinkering with it a little bit tonight. tried to rev it up to 4k wot in neutral hit 3.5K and it just studdered and it was smoking and it reeked like fuel.

Car will not rev past 3.5K. this was with the fuel setting to -15 on both high and low throttle and maft zeroed.

Bpr6es plugs. 43.5 psi on the aero fpr.

Checked the plugs they are still white.

Any other ideas?

sounds like you did not hook the safc up correctly. I've had a few cars where people have removed the SAFC, but did not reconnect the MAF signal wire back into the ECU and it does the exact thing you are saying, idles fine, but will not rev past 3500 to 4000 rpms. Recheck to make sure you hooked up the SAFC correctly.

[Coty]

What injectors are you using right now? Stockers or your aftermarket ones? Does the afc show an input from your maf sensor?

[97Gs-t]

660s.how do I check for the imput on the safc?

[Dizmm]

The input will be measured in Hz's. The reading should go up and down quite a bit, if it stays at like 3 or 6 or something low then your ECU is not getting the MAF signal.

[97Gs-t]

i checked the safc2 and the only think i seen in hz when i was in monitor mode was karman. at idle it was around 96 was jumping up into the hundreds.

Im just wondering would a massive boost leak cause this also?

also wanted to note that when i start my car the afr starts at 13.6 then all the way up to 16.9. at idle the guage is maxed out in the lean...

[97Gs-t]

Good news!

Found three massive boost leaks on the throttle body.:mad:

Boost guage read nothing when i pressurized the system.

Hopefully this fixes the turbo problems.

Boost Leak Testers FTMFW!:D

[Dizmm]

yup, get to be very familier with your boost leak tester. I take mine everywhere, even to the bathroom.

[97Gs-t]

lmao

I had no idea that boost leaks could affect a car this bad!

[97Gs-t]

Fixed alot of boost leaks today. still nothing.

Car will not rev past 4.5 still no turbo

But now my boost guage shows -20 instead of -10

When i did my boost leak test the boost guage slowly rose up is it suppost to be like that?

what could this be?:confused:

Have you checked to make sure the SAFC is hooked up correctly???

Thanks for the link. Will check it out when i wake up. spent 5 hours fixing boost leaks...:mad:

[97Gs-t]

Just pulled the plugs out and inspected everything.

The only wire that was not hooked up according to the link was the BLUE wire.

[Dizmm]

well that blue wire is the MAF signal wire.

[TSi_II]

I'd put money on that being the problem, or 90% of it anyhow.... It's happened to me too.:rolleyes:

[Coty]

The blue wire is for that stupid O2 mod.

[97Gs-t]

i didnt hook up that wire.

The only way i was able to get my afr to 14.9/17ish was to set the low throttle to +12. is that normal?
